Can you add paddle shifters to non performance pack s650?

[Kaleza]

Was wondering if anybody else had tried what I want to do.

I already tested out FORScan, coding in the continuous gear display as well as changing L to M mode (even though my car doesn't have paddles). It worked flawlessly, but now I really want to get a carbon fiber, aftermarket steering wheel that has nice carbon fiber/magnetic paddles.

Has anyone gotten an aftermarket wheel with paddles and used it to swap on their non-HPP EcoBoost?

I've looked into the Dark Horse one, and the difference seems to be that the Dark Horse one includes all the back trim pieces (pre-drilled holes for the paddles), while aftermarket wheels use the OEM back trim piece where the paddles are supposed to attach.

I also tried emailing one company and they basically told me to figure it out myself lol

Only other work around I could think of is using another wheel with paddle shifters as a "donor" wheel and then buying a carbon fiber wheel separately.

Yes u can get gt base steering wheel with paddle shifters probably cheapest option on ebay, and then send it to after market company and they can make it carbon fiber i guess

Does anyone know if this is possible on a 2025 ecoboost? I know they discontinued the high performance packages for the 2025 lineup, but I was wondering if it’s still possible.

U can always try to change options in forscan and see if that works, then maybe paddle shifters would work too

I wish Ford got their tripe together and offered stand alone options. Especially paddle shifters. What good is a A10 without them? On the straight away fine, but when it comes to corners, and canyons, forget it. This is the main reason I stick with the MT-82.

So today I tried the FORScan to see if I can change the values, and the 2025 model does indeed allow for M mode to be displayed and have shifting enabled. So now it’s just a matter of getting a steering wheel with paddle shifters to see if it actually works.

The only thing I couldn’t get to work was having the gears display on my screen. I tried everything and nothing popped up :/

good to hear that it works for 2025s. but no gears? attached is a picture of the full instructions i followed and it worked for my 2024.

I followed that guide but had no luck. But now looking at it again it says to change a letter value. I think that’s where I may have done it wrong. It’s my first time using FORScan so I’m still a bit new to this lol.

For the continuous gear display. It didn’t let me change any values it just “enable” or “disable” so I don’t know if I was just in the wrong area? Because I hit enable and made sure all the previous steps were right. No gears popped up for me when I shifted it to drive.

also idk if it’s also because I didn’t drive at all. I just shifted it to D to see if anything popped up.

well i know that you can change the actual number values in the detailed view where u can see the code. simply enabling and disabling settings is a different view mode im pretty sure

Yeah still no luck I did everything again and still no luck with having the gears show up. Everything else works fine
